INTRODUCTION
Tourism is one of many activities in a community or
region that requires planning and coordination. This
bulletin provides a simple structure and basic guidelines
for comprehensive tourism planning at a community or
regional level. Planning is the process of identifying
objectives and defining and evaluating methods of
achieving them. By comprehensive planning we mean
planning which considers all of the tourism resources,
organizations, markets, and programs within a region.
Comprehensive planning also considers economic,
environmental, social, and institutional aspects of
tourism development.

Impacts on Residents
Local residents may experience a broad range of both
positive and negative impacts from tourism development.
Tourism development may provide increased employment and
income for the community. Although tourism jobs are
primarily in the service sectors and are often seasonal,
part time, and low-paying, these characteristics, are
neither universal nor always undesirable. Residents may
value opportunities for part time and seasonal work. In
particular, employment opportunities and work experiences
for students or retirees may be desired.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
Successful tourism planning and development means serving
both tourists and local residents. The bulletins in this
series stress the importance of a market orientation for
attracting and serving tourists. This market orientation
must be balanced with a clear view of how tourism serves
the broader community interest and an understanding of
the positive and negative impacts of tourism development.

Impacts on Residents
Local residents may experience a broad range of
both
positive and negative impacts from tourism
development.
Tourism development may provide increased
employment and
income for the community. Although tourism jobs
are
primarily in the service sectors and are often
seasonal,
part time, and low-paying, these characteristics,
are
neither universal nor always undesirable. Residents
may
value opportunities for part time and seasonal
work. In
particular, employment opportunities and work
experiences
for students or retirees may be desired.
Residents may also benefit from local services that
otherwise would not be available. Tourism
development may
mean a wider variety of retailers and restaurants,
or a
better community library. It may also mean more
traffic,
higher prices, and increases in property values and
local
taxes. The general quality of the environment and
life in
the community may go up or down due to tourism
development. This depends on the nature of
tourism
development, the preferences and desires of local
residents, and how well tourism is planned and
managed.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
Successful tourism planning and development
means serving
both tourists and local residents. The bulletins in
this
series stress the importance of a market
orientation for
attracting and serving tourists. This market
orientation
must be balanced with a clear view of how tourism
